Summary:

Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving humanity and Heavy metal tunes. Featuring the talents of comedian, actor and musician, Jack Black as super roadie Eddie Riggs, as well as cameos by some of the biggest names in metal music it's a wild ride in the belly of the beast that is not to be missed by gamers and Metalheads alike.

Brutal Legend on the Xbox 360 is a visual genius and culture-rich game. The use of the soundtracks of the Black Sabbath and Motorhead depicts the hard living of the game. Brutal Legend’s characters and story is really amazing that it stands out.

The voice acting within the game is also very good quality. Brutal Legend’s visual is great in the sense that the background and the characters are great but there are some flaws to it. The graphics are a little bit cartoony though some events will keep you on your seats.

You play the character as Eddie Riggs with Jack Black’s voice. You will start with the adventure roots where you will be traveling and defeating enemies on foot. As you continue, you will be doing combos to inflict great destruction to your enemies. The Deuce, a roadster that you will be driving soon on the journey has its own power to attack enemies, I forgot, you also get powers along the way. It is not easy to control too. You will be earning resources by collecting heavy metal fans to be on your team. You can play on foot or using your car.

Brutal Legend has a main storyline and side missions where you will get to help your fellow army though side missions will get you tired sometimes, because they are just the same. But as you progress to the side missions, there are armies to help you fight against your enemies. Your enemies vary from giant spiders to small porcupine with metal spikes.

The controls are not easy. Sometimes it does not easily follow what you want to accomplish. You will be bored and tired of the control for some time. The camera also does some tricks on you as well which is annoying.

Brutal Legend in general is quite a good game, you can use tricks and strategies to stay in the game, there’s a great action and adventure. If you want a good time, loves hard metal music and want to laugh then this game is worth getting.
